- Abstract
Louis Sullivan designed beach cottages at Ocean Springs, Mississippi for himself and James Charnley of Chicago in 1890. This study reviews aspects of Sullivan's professional and modernist features in the designs. The study reveals that the designs venture into architectural traditions of the Gulf Coast, a direction not discussed by early scholars of Sullivan. Altogether, a wide range of design elements were selected from the past and present and mixed with his creative vision that was to become the future. Finally, this research retraces Sullivan's first trip to the Mississippi coast to illustrate its 1890 environment and climate that motivated him to design the beach cottages that he fondly referred to as his "shacks" and "bungalows."
